I bought all the supplies and finally got around to giving it a try. I have a Porter Cable kit and buffed with ssr2.5/ssr1 and PB polish and a hand wax

just did the hood today and im satisfied with the results i have clear coat failure but it helped a lot

and im glad to learn how to go this the proper way
im still learning but im happy i know the basics and can build on that

heres a pic the white spots are the clouds very shiney not perfect paint but very shiney now

Got some good reflections and it appears clarity.
Nice job.

Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!

Ain't detailing fun?

I'm starting to snap out of my "been detailing for a living too long to enjoy it" mentality. Polishing paint can be very enjoyable and satisfying. I only wish my art work wouldn't get dirty right away and rained on.

Keep up the good work.

Very nice!

Is that a Police Interceptor model?

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe - Harbor Gray

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

i did the rest of car except trunk and back bumper the oxidation on the sides was wiped off and is clear/shiney the only thing that didnt go too well was the front bumper it had paint failure due to bugs on highway and it stands out more now but all in all very good just put a coat of wax by hand on it i'll try and get some pics

heres some pics the paint isnt perfect, has a few chips here and there a couple dings and some scrapes on the drivers rear which was touched up by previous owner but i think the buffing came out nice

as you can see the tint might need to be replaced its probley 8 years old my guess is you cant restore it? it has water spots and window track marks. anyone ?

From what i can see, it probably needs to be sanded down and re-sprayed
